I love this product! I tried the free sample and loved it and went out and got it. I got the lightest shade. I have got this product about 3 times because the bottle isnt that big. However In terms of the actual product I love it. it doesnt give you that powdery skin look. its very natrual and I usualy use this and a bit of blush and that's it. I must say on my nose it looks a little too pale, So i dont use it on my nose. however it hides all blemishes , spots and u dont have to wash it of because it is a bb cream. Also it doesnt cause black heads or clogged pores.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. I Dont wear foundation anymore! just this and a setting powder and i get the same if not better coverage then i did with foundation. It gives you a natural look vs a cakey look where you can tell that youre wearing make up. I wear it everyday and its my go to product, even after swimming in a pool, which i wouldnt normally do with foundation. it doesnt make my skin feel dry all day either!

My skin is very fair, dry, and prone to breakouts.
Pros: -hydrating (I don't skip my moisturizer but this stuff feels like I'm drenching my skin in cool moisture)
- coverage (light, but more than a tinted moisturizer. I wear it to the gym a lot and it covers my redness). Can also build the coverage without it looking cakey, which is a plus.
- staying power (with a setting powder this stuff will stay as long as a normal light-medium foundation)
- SPF 30. This means A LOT to me. This is one of the highest SPF's in a BB cream and IS the highest in a drugstore BB.
- Does not break me out. I don't wear it every day but I will sometimes wear it a few days in a row and I always wear it to the gym and I have had no issues with it breaking me out at all.
- Finish. A lovely dewy (but still looks like skin, not a shiny mess of foundation) finish. Makes my skin glow which I absolutely adore.
-Comes in 5 shades which is a decent array for a drugstore BB cream. Only thing I would say is that they are mostly fair-light tan so if you're skin is very deep in colour I don't think you'll find the deep shade exactly right. But definitely worth a swatch.
-Price: 8.99-11.99 depending on where you are from (I am from Canada and got mine for 11.99). Very decent in comparison to other drugstore BB creams.
CONS: The only con I can think of is that it is a small bottle for what you pay for. However I don't wear mine everyday (more like 3-4x a week) and I've had mine for over 2 months. So it does even out.
I truly do like this BB cream. And for the price, I don't feel like I will be breaking the bank whenever I run out.

I'm technically a light/medium in this brand, but I bought this in medium. This is not a bb cream technically, it's a tinted moisturizer so I bought it with the purpose of only covering my blemishes. On my nose I have red scars and scabs. The thing with scars and scabs is that they are darker and redder than your natural skin color. With the medium tint I apply it to my nose and because this maybelline's bb cream has a pink tint also, it hides almost all off the blemishes on my nose(which is something my stila bb failed to do). You may view the pink tint as a bad thing but the pink tint in the medium tone darker than my skin matched with the dark and red acne scars/scabs which is something that would have not worked well if I had went with my actual skin shade (light/medium in the maybelline bb cream).I wouldn't use this for the face though because it is kind of drying it brings out you skin lines or wrinkles and I didn't buy a color that matched my face tone. For my face I would just stick with my stila bb. I give this product a 4 for covering my blemishes but as a bb cream I would give it like a 2. Like I said before this should not be considered a bb cream or a moisturizer.

My first bb cream, that being said I never used an Asian bb cream. I have nothing to compare this bb cream to.
I was imaging a better coverage. This gave almost barely anything. My tinted moisturiser gave better coverage (aren't bb creams suppose to give better coverage?). A huge factor that I also hated was it made my normal skin look not glowy, but oily after a few hours. Also, without a concealed I saw no change besides that "glowy" factor. The price is good though, 9USD and its easily accessable through drugstores. The color range is okay, I'm the lightest shade. All in all, won't repurchase.

I like this, but i def do not love it! when i think of a good bb cream, i think cream, thicker consistency. this product is runnier, more like a thin lotion. it provides average bb cream consistency, so not amazing, but it makes my skin feel so oily immediately after application! I set it with powder, and i use blot papers all day long!! in one day of wearing this, i went through 12 nyx blotting papers!!!! 12!!! thats too much oil. after removing it and going to bed, the next day, i washed my face, and still had more oil on my face, and it was colored like the bb cream, yuck!! I still have the full tube, and will be using it anymore, and def plan on a return!

I absolutely love this. I've found tinted moisturisers in the past to be too 'cakey' for everyday, but this gives gorgeous, natural-looking coverage with minimal fuss. It's really hydrating, and has an SPF of 25 - so even my dry skin is left soft and protected all day. Even better, I wear it every day and a tube still lasts me about two months. I've recommended this to everyone I know, definitely try it!

I've never been more excited about a cosmetic product in my life. I'm very fair, so most foundations, even tinted moisturizers, look heavy and artificial on me. But this stuff is amazing. It glides on, sinks right into the skin, leaves no residue, and is incredibly hydrating - which I really appreciate heading into the winter months. I look and feel as though I'm wearing no makeup at all! I'm not only going to buy this product again, I may commit to using nothing else.

This works great on my combination skin that tends to be dry on my cheeks and slightly oily in the t zone as the day goes on. It gives just a very sheer coverage but I believe it does what it claims and blurs my imperfections rather that covering them. I like it for my lazy days off instead of a heavy foundation. I have also found that it works well under my foundation as a primer.

Where do I begin. This product is fair priced but, the product its self if horrible. Well for Oily skin in my T zone like myself it is murder but for Normal to Dry would still only be ok. Not that much coverage. Only looks good for the first 5 mins. Im not sure what these others are using because this didnt work at all. Even where my skin is normal it still provided way too much oil. So the 8-in-1 is not true. Cant wait to try another one, may need to stay away from the drugstores. This is going BACK!

This bb cream is one of the best bb creams I have used. The coverage is fine and its texture is perfect. It hydrates my skin for many hours and offers a matte result...I also like that this product has spf 30.

I love this stuff! it gives my skin a dewy glow. it doesn't have much coverage, but I don't always need a lot of coverage. it is also NOT a BB cream. it's a tinted moisturizer, but that's a-okay with me. another thing: a little goes a long way with this.
I also appreciate that it has a safety seal on it So before you buy it, unscrew the cap and make sure there's a safety seal on it. Love this stuff!

I really love this BB cream. I love everything about it. The only thing I really do not love is the shade range. I have to choose between the light and light/medium. Light is too light, and light/medium is too orange. It is so irritating, but I fix it with the power I set with afterwards.

Other than that, I love it. If you use too much, the texture will look odd, but if you use the right amount, it's pretty awesome. And I think the coverage is great for a BB cream. It's not full coverage, but it certainly does cover.

I've been using this since it came out in the summer and have not stopped. I recommend it.

APRIL 3 2013 EDIT: My skincare regimine is still the same if you bother to read this review. Since then I have tried and gotten a lot more BBs and have an entirely new opinion on atleast the western (American) ones. If I use a BB cream, it's because minimum I want to get some sunscreen, try to cover the rest of my redness, moisturize, and "equal out" my skintone overall. I mean dream fresh is able to do that so it makes me happy. Most importantly I have never had a breakout from using this.

gave 4 for packaging quality because i think there should be a lot more product inside. there ain't shit in this. wonder how long it'll last. i tried this on in store long before i bought it. i honestly don't like to call american bb creams, well, bb creams! they are tinted moisturizers given another name! anyway.. my initial reaction was, oh my god, i got to get this into my face before someone sees me, because i thought oil-free would mean thick, but a little bit goes a long way. i got the lightest tint one by the way. matched my skintone unlike garnier's miracle skin perfecting light/medium bullshit. but if you've used at least two of maybelline's foundations, you would know they have a penchant for oxidizing--turning orange on you. this seemed to happen when i bought it and was able to actually spend time with it over and over. i guess i don't notice it anymore. it seemed to stop somehow. i am still ivory-pale, no orange in me as we speak. i really didn't wanna like this! i had just got garnier's new crap cream a little bit ago, but they only have two color choices, the light/medium worked on me, but it was a tanner me, and i want to be as white an asian as i possibly can. one day i decided to put these bb creams on one half of my face. the garnier, although you do get a splendid amount, will leave your face feeling tacky and as i was getting used to maybelline, when i applied garnier i could really smell that scent everyone was talking about. i just don't like fragrances on my face. it makes me prone to breaking out. anywho, i think most of the photos online of befores and afters don't really help. all the pictures made me think i'd get no coverage but even though i have been told by female classmates that they wish they had my porcelain skin, i still will always be in danger by the threat of rosacea and like everyone else, the occasional zit that i hope to catch early before it can get too much worse. at the moment my biggest problem is getting rid of dark spots. i'm not sure if maybelline, or garnier, will actually do anything about them but these are dark spots from former zits--one on my left cheek and three on my forehead. i use the power of salicylic acid to rid me of those. if these tinted moisturizers can aid in that, then continue on. i've never been a makeup person, until recently really. i was always afraid anything and everything would give me acne. so before this, all i used (and i still use) was/is revlon colorstay blemish concealer. too little s-acid to truely make a difference, but at least i can cover the dark stuff. when i'm done applying that, i apply the maybelline. i'll stop using anything giving me any sign of breakouts. but so far, my face is solid. i am quite surprised, and think that when xmas rolls around, i'll use gifted money to go for a real bb cream (i'm a poor 21 year old girl!). my dream one would help with acne, dark spots, whitening, and have true all-around spf 30. if you are a bb cream queen please message me suggestions! if you're interested in bb creams, or just like the idea of a tinted moisturizer with spf 30 that may have other benefits, get maybelline. and make sure you remember--less is more. you don't need to cover your whole face at once. just work areas that you can tell need moisturizing. i literally always have red cheeks.. i have a ton of little broken capillaries there.. and when i use this, i can see any areas that i should apply more concealer on. i cleanse, acne-lotion up, conceal, bb cream it up, then conceal again if i have to. i do still rub a dot of concealer into my cheek afterwards most of the time but i just like that look. funny how after all that and lip balm and eye makeup that it takes 20 minutes for me to make myself look as if i have no makeup on! and.. more flawless skin than before, ha. skip garnier, skip loreal, try maybelline.

This product is good if you want something to brighten your face, but not cake on a foundation. I have mixed feeling about it. It does brightens your face but only lasts for a few hours. Since I have an oily face, I don't think I will get this product again though because when you apply it your face looks like a shine ball. My cheeks were shiny, my chin, under my eyes, my nose, and my forehead. It was overdone.

What can I say about this product that can sum it up entirely? Let's see.. amazing!

For a few reasons I absolutely loved this BB cream and I have been so pleased (and surprised). Firstly, I found the colour spread evenly, flawlessly and was generally well rounded. Secondly, it wasn't too thick or too thin and the consistency was perfect (I've used watery BB creams and ones that are thick as paste so this was the perfect medium).

Just like the branding suggests it really does "do it all" and meets every one of its eight proclamations.

The only thing I didn't love about the product is the packaging. I found it kind of tacky and overdone but then again it is a drugstore product and with the amount of drugstore product competition the flashier the better, I suppose.

Anyway, will DEFINITELY buy again.

I bought this as emergency drugstore makeup after evacuating from Hurricane Sandy, and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a TM snob (La Mer and Laura Mercier) and found this comparable to LM, even though it's not a TM. I'm very pale and the lightest shade blended very well into my skin. The yellow-based tint is great for pink-toned Irish girls like me. It's thick enough to minimize the appearance of pores, and gives skin a healthy glow without looking greasy. You may want to use a primer on any dry areas, because it does drag a bit if skin isn't smooth. I'll use this instead of LM in the future, as it doesn't settle into pores the way that LM can. I've been using it for a few days and haven't had any breakouts; it also feels lovely on skin (not too heavy). Most important, it doesn't look like makeup; it looks like great skin.

I love this, I wanted something to offer a little coverage but could double as a moisturiser as I don't want to moisturise too much with oily skin. I also didn't want to get another foundation when my skin got lighter.
Pros:
Lightly moisturises but isn't greasy/oily so my oily skin likes it.
Blurs imperfections (as it claims) and makes my skin look great.
Makes my skin look nicer than any foundation has.
The price suits it nicely.
I can wear this to work without worrying about it unlike any foundation/foundation type product I have used before.
cons:
I sometimes mis-judge how much to squeeze out and can end up with too much/too little but that's my mistake and not the product.
Would definitely buy again, and it fits nicely into my budget :)

This is.. A greasy tinted mouisterizer. It offers barely any coverage and does nothing to control oil. I'd much prefer my Too Faced BB Cream.
